One of the major challenges in divided societies is finding ways to overcome geographical partition by increasing readiness for cohabitation in mixed areas. Cyprus has faced a protracted situation of division (between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots) for the last 44 years. In this paper, we explore the role of intergroup contact (both quantity and quality of contact) in enhancing the willingness of members of these two communities to reestablish cohabitation, using representative survey samples from both communities. We hypothesize that such an effect is mediated by a decrease in the levels of prejudice between the two communities and an increase in the levels of trust. In addition, we hypothesize that the direct effect of intergroup contact and the indirect effect of intergroup contact through trust and prejudice are both moderated by age. To explore these hypotheses, we collected data from a representative sample of 502 Greek Cypriots and 504 Turkish Cypriots. The hypotheses are tested among the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot samples separately. In both samples, the results show that the positive effect of intergroup contact on willingness for renewed cohabitation is mediated by both trust and prejudice. There is also some support for the moderating effect of age for both the direct and indirect effects of intergroup contact.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the interactional relationships between sustainable human resource management (HRM) and positive organizational outcomes, in the context of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), focusing on employees’ perception and mediation of the direct relationships drawing on the theoretical background of the social exchange theory. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected using a web-based survey (293 usable responses). Respondents were full-time employees from the UAE’s oil-and-gas sector. The proposed hypotheses were tested using hierarchical regression for direct and indirect relationships. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to confirm the validity of the proposed framework. Findings Sustainable HRM has a significant direct effect on sustainable employee performance and perceived sustainable organizational support. The mediating influence of organizational knowledge sharing (OKS) and employee empowerment were significant to varying degrees, proving the different interactions between the study constructs. Practical implications The mediating effect found for OKS and employee empowerment suggests that organizations should consider multiple combinations of practices to sustain positive outcomes, especially in dynamic markets. The alignment between different managerial practices can enhance anticipated organizational outcomes. Establishing knowledge-sharing practices will, therefore, help in enhancing employee performance, supporting the role of sustainable HRM. Empowering employees will also help in establishing a sense of perceived support that employees will value, leading to positive reciprocity from employees. Originality/value This study extends the literature on sustainable HRM and its links to positive organizational outcomes in the context of the UAE. The study also demonstrates that mediators of the direct relationships can have varying effects and associations with different organizational outcomes.

Using path analysis, we examined the mediating effect of personality traits on the relationship between self-concealment and subjective well-being. Participants were 291 undergraduates who completed the Chinese versions of the Self Concealment Scale, NEO Five-Factor Inventory, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, and General Well-Being Schedule. Our results showed that both self-concealment and neuroticism had negative effects on subjective well-being, while extraversion had a positive effect on subjective well-being. Self-concealment affected subjective well-being indirectly via personality traits. These findings suggest that self-concealment has both direct and indirect effects on subjective well-being, and that personality traits are directly associated with subjective well-being. This indicates that personality traits may mediate the association between self-concealment and subjective well-being.

PurposeThe paper aims to investigate the effect of firm age and size on profitability and productivity of construction firms in India. It also attempts to understand the indirect effect of firm age and size on profitability mediated through firm's productivity.Design/methodology/approachData of 64 construction firms, for a period of 12 years (2006–2017), were collected. In order to measure the direct and indirect effect of size and age on profitability and productivity, a structural equation model was developed. In the structural models, productivity is a latent variable measured through proxies of material productivity (MP), labor productivity (LP) and equipment productivity (EP). The profitability is measured using three financial ratios: return on asset (ROA), return on capital employed (ROCE) and return on net worth (RONW). Then the direct and indirect effect of age and size is measured on ROA, ROCE, RONW and productivity.FindingsThe findings of the study suggest that age has a direct negative effect on profitability; however, it has an indirect positive effect on profitability, which is mediated by firm's productivity. This positive indirect effect compensates the direct negative effect and leads to an overall positive effect of firm age on profitability. However, firm size shows no effect on profitability and productivity.Originality/valueTo the best of authors’ knowledge, the study is the first attempt to measure the indirect effect of age and size on profitability, mediated through productivity. The study also examines the interrelationship among firms’ profitability and productivity and bridges an important research gap. The study proposes an integrated theoretical framework with a clear view of the interrelationships among age, size, profitability and productivity for construction firms in India, which can be further tested and validated for generalization.

Employee performance has a crucial and decisive role in achieving an organization's success. This research conducted at PT. Madubaru Yogyakarta to investigate the impact of training that employees have participated in and empowerment on performance mediated by job satisfaction. Fifty employees of PT. Madubaru Yogyakarta used as a sample during this study. Data analysis and hypothesis testing using SEM-PLS 3.2.8. This study found that training that had been attended by employees and empowerment had a significant positive effect on performance, yet as on job satisfaction. Job satisfaction alone features a significant positive impact on performance. Indirectly, job satisfaction is in a position to mediate the effect of training and individual empowerment on indirect performance, and the indirect effect is essential and decisive. PT. Madubaru Yogyakarta is suggested within the use of coaching methods to be more accurate in order to achieve the training objectives and therefore the direction of employee empowerment is more emphasized on improving performance instead of merely increasing employee satisfaction at work. Realize the targets set by the corporate within the future, the amount of employee satisfaction at work and current performance still has to be improved in order that employee contributions recover.Kinerja karyawan memiliki peran penting dan menjadi penentu untuk mencapai kesuksesan suatu organisasi, Penelitian ini dilakukan di PT. Madubaru Yogyakarta untuk menganalisis dampak pelatihan yang pernah diikuti karyawan dan pemberdayaan terhadap kinerja yang dimediasi oleh kepuasan kerja. Limapuluh karyawan PT. Madubaru Yogyakarta dijadikan sampel dalam penelitian ini. Analisis data dan pengujian hipotesis menggunakan SEM-PLS 3.2.8. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pelatihan yang pernah diikuti karyawan maupun pemberdayaan berdampak signifikan yang positif terhadap kinerja, demikian pula terhadap kepuasan kerja. Kepuasan kerja sendiri, memiliki dampak signifikan yang positif terhadap kinerja. Secaara tidak langsung, kepuasan kerja mampu menjembatani pengaruh pelatihan maupun pemberdayaan secara individual terhadap kinerja secara tidak langsung, pengaruh tidak langsung tersebut bersifat signifikan dan positif. PT. Madubaru Yogyakarta disarankan dalam penggunaan metode pelatihan untuk lebih akurat agar tujuan pelatihan dapat tercapai serta arah pemberdayaan karyawan lebih ditekankan pada peningkatan kinerja bukan sekedar meningkatkan rasa puas karyawan dalam bekerja. Untuk mencapai target yang ditetapkan perusahaan di masa depan, maka tingkat kepuasan karyawan dalam bekerja maupun kinerja yang ada saat ini masih perlu ditingkatkan agar kontribusi karyawan semakin baik.
